How do you engineer a congressional map to eliminate political competition? Utah Republicans found a way—by splitting up Democratic voters so equally the variation was under 4%.
Legislative leaders say they'll meet the court's Sept. 24 deadline to draw new congressional maps, but may submit a non-compliant map to test the constitutionality of Prop. 4.
Rep. Karianne Lisonbee says she's "verified" reports of noncitizens voting in Utah's elections. She's attempting to leverage those claims to push for strict new voter registration requirements in next month's special session.
Utah’s gerrymander gets a day in court—and loses. Prop. 4 is back, 2021 congressional maps are out, and the clock is ticking to redraw lines by Sept. 24.
